These $9 lip combinations will provide you with the most luscious lips ever—our before-and-after photos prove it.
Welcome to Internet Famous, a monthly series where we invite our Instagram followers to vote on a trending beauty product that's taken social media by storm. After that, the beauty team will test the winning product and share their reviews—photos included. Would you believe me if I said I never leave home without a lip combo? Lining my lips with my go-to chocolate-brown liner and finishing it off with a nude gloss before stepping out feels as natural as putting on earrings or tossing my keys into my bag. It simply must happen; otherwise, my day feels entirely off. I know I'm not alone in this. My fellow editors and self-proclaimed lip-combo aficionados share my views. However, I'm concerned that my signature lip combo has become quite predictable lately, and I'm eager to change that. This is where SHEGLAM's Bold Booster Plumping Lip Liner ($4) and Bold Booster Lip Plumper ($5) come into play.

There are very few lip liners available that truly hit the mark. I've had to kiss a few frogs before finding my ideal lip liner, and after extensive testing, I've established a set of criteria for every liner that makes it into my makeup bag: creamy, smudge-proof, long-wearing, and richly pigmented. The Bold Booster Plumping Lip Liner meets all these requirements and also plumps your lips. I've tried various plumping glosses but never a plumping lip liner until now, and I found it essential for achieving that fuller look. Paired with the Bold Booster Lip Plumper, it takes less than 30 seconds for the tingly sensation to set in and for my lips to swell. The gloss is vibrant, easy to wear, nourishing, and not sticky. This duo comes in eight shades, from deep brown to nude pink, and five of our editors have given it a try.

"I'm such a sucker for a just-bitten berry lip, especially when it appears as juicy as this one. I chose a darker liner shade (appropriately named Berry Bold) to slightly overline my lips, and I immediately noticed the smooth application and richly pigmented yet forgiving formula. It blended effortlessly with just a swipe of my finger. Then, I applied a layer of lip plumper in Strawberry Fields (a luscious pinky red), which imparted the prettiest mirror-like shine to my lips. The plumping effect has a slight spiciness but nothing overly intense (I enjoy a little tingle!), and the cooling metal tip was perfectly sized to trace my entire lip shape—ensuring every nook and cranny was coated in a beautiful strawberry glaze. In terms of durability, I found the longevity of both products impressively outstanding. I expected the liner to remain intact (the formula is smudge-proof and non-transferring), but even the glossy plumper lasted for hours after eating and drinking. And when the shine eventually faded, I was still left with a subtle pink tint." — Jamie Schneider, senior beauty editor

My main issue with lip plumpers has been their pain level and the fact that my lips usually shrink right after the sting subsides. But this duo doesn't fit that mold. I won't lie—I was surprised to feel my lips tingling after using the liner in Mocha Muse, but it was not painful and the pigment lasted throughout my entire workday. I had lunch and snacks at the office, drank water, and faced the strong NYC winds, and it didn’t budge. I’m torn between which product I prefer, and fortunately, I don’t have to choose. I used the gloss in Latte Luxe, which was the ideal topper providing just the right amount of shine for that brownish nude lip. I'm a fan of a metal applicator, and this one glides smoothly on my lips. It’s been days, and I'm still amazed by how much plumper my lips appeared after using this $9 duo." — Aniyah Morinia, beauty editor

It's a necessary step before applying any other lip product, whether a hydrating balm or lipstick. That’s why I find that the Bold Booster Lip Liner and Lip Plumper complement each other
